Crossing Over -- Infrastructure Into Art

I remember, as a kid, we often identified communities by a piece of infrastructure that stood out. The City of Red Deer, for example, has its infamous Green Onion -- the old water tower, standing high above the city (or, at least, it used to). I always loved it when communities painted their water towers, a section of concrete wall, or whatever they had that set them apart and gave a sense of identity.

We now have a plethora of transmission lines, wind farms and communication towers that seem to be, at times, more of a blight on the landscape than anything else. Well folks, it doesn't have to been that way. There are some pretty creative people out there that have taken infrastructure -- even old, rotting, decrepit infrastructure -- to a whole new level. I like it. I like it a lot!
